Taco bar hire in Groombridge, served fresh
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. At staff parties and office lunches, we’ll put together a menu of slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and a build-your-own taco bar for your guests.
Near Groombridge, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will confirm power and water with you. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
What’s on the menu
Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
Salsas
Guests add as much heat as they like.
Groombridge: venues, access and set-up
Groombridge is about 4 miles south-west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Anywhere in TN3, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. We cater in 922 places across Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Nearby historic houses include Groombridge Place (within half a mile north-east) and Bassetts Manor (3.9 miles west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off. For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Eridge station, about 1.8 miles south-east. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Groombridge, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
For taco bar hire in TN3, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings. Streets in the area include Station Road, Meadow Road and Orchard Rise, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Nearby, we also cater events in Birchden (1 mile south-east), Stone Cross (1 mile north), Ashurst (2 miles north-west), Balls Green (2 miles west) and Fordcombe (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Sevenoaks (12 miles north), Royal Tunbridge Wells (4 miles north-east), Tonbridge (7 miles north-east), Kings Hill (15 miles north-east), Paddock Wood (10 miles north-east) and Southborough (4 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital (3.5 miles east) and The Corn Exchange (3.3 miles east). Open spaces near Groombridge include Broadwater Warren RSPB Reserve.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Groombridge
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Do you come to events in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
What do you need at the venue?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes.
The process
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. From late May to late September, sunset in Groombridge moves from about 8:50pm to 7:05pm. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.

We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Wedding day food

When the service is at a church such as Church of St Thomas the Apostle, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.
